compensation for the sick olong with many of myac t achievements, i also had time to reflect on some of theo fix disappointments that i wish i had been able to fix during my time here. i am deeply concerned about the state of the entitlement mare, programs. medicare, medicaid and social m security. it is clear that our government cannot meet its future will obligations and ultimately the american people will suffer memf unfortunately. too many members of congress are willing to look the other way and let the financial problems of these programs faster instead make them hard decisions. congress just cannot get the courage together to address these in fact, after president bush ts be second election, congressof a briefly focused on the problems of social security solvency. at the time i was a strong supporter of private investment accounts, but certainly realized that the whole system needed an by the end of the debate, i wasf willing to tackle social security reform, even if we didn't donvs. investment accoun. as long as we did something. however, it quickly became apparent that many members

stric one does not have to be a strict constructionist to see theo see violent but that approach does to the x rest language of the constitution. honestly, do members of his bods believe that the framers would establish a two thirds majorityt vote to remove a federal judge, but allowed to house to simply aggregate to achieve that whiche is 20 or 30.d migh the framers of the united staten might've been many things that they were not and they were not frivolous. they created a two thirds vote for purpose.-thi agreewanted two thirds of you to actee together that at least one acts committed by a federal judge is deficient to satisfy ss this extraordinary measure ofon removal. even such aggregation of claims wouldn't even be allowed any thisinal or civil trial. a judge wouldn't permit j it. this judge wouldn't permit it. senators have repeatedlye objected to the aggregation of claims in past cases. however, the house knows thatthe senators are without to dismiss an article that has been duly t it's a gamby the house. it's a game of constitutional a chicken. it they aggregate, knowing that

with side how colleagues on the other side how this can be paid for but i cannot help but note that theo colleagues on the other side do not share their concern for the payment and paygo side of the equation when it comes to for people making many millions of many dollars a year that we are at we trying to get exempted as we try to provide tax relief to the middle class. so what would be hard for me to hold seniors getting a 250-dollar, one-time benefit in a year in which the cola formula has misfired and they areisfi getting no cola benefit despite their other costs going up and at the same time that they asked t to oagree to hundreds of thousands of dollars per million per air in some cases in tax relief that is not paid for and i should think that we should hold if anything, the senior should be held to a lower standard than multimillionaires for home the ltimil tax benefit would amount to potentially hundreds of amo thousands of dollars. so whenun i set those two ie m appreciate my colleagues very legitimate concern about the w cost that this would provide. i would submit that we are

you were for, then, back after theo for them before the mid terms. what's going to change your mind? if you were against that spending bill, are you against the earmarks now? >> what's changed my mind is the voice of the people in the election, number one, but i also want to make clear to you that i had a different opinion also before the election, because twice, i have voted for senator demint's amendment to not have any earmarks, and of course, that lost, but i think that we ought to have a rule that ought states be treated exactly the same. and so if you don't have any earmarks at all, then all 50 states are treated exactly the same. rick: could you go into this hill before -- bill before it comes to a vote and strip out the earmarks that you had proposed all those weeks back and could other republicans who want to vote, who are promise to go vote against it, just strip those earmarks out, if only for symbolic purposes? >> yeah, you could do that, but then that would be saying that iowans are less important people than the other 50 states. i think

examining theo pattern of population change. over in the last 100 years, the rates of growth of the u.s. population has gradually slowed. this is true in many developed societies. but there is a lot of variation across the decades. as you can see from the red line on this graphic. there are two notable decades the -- hear. between 1930 and 1940, the small growth rate of 7.3% is thought to be related to the great depression. between 1950 and 1960, a high growth rate of 18.5% reflects the so-called baby boom. the percentage growth this last decade, as i stated earlier, 9.7%, is thus the second lowest of the past century. the census bureau also tracks the center of the population each decade. in 1790, the center of the population was in kent county, maryland. it consistently moved west, and noticeably south. in the year 2000, it sat in southern missouri. we have not yet computed the new center. it is based on lorton geography data. we can't wait to see whether the center will remain somewhere in the state of missouri or move south

i think the 18th century of theo english novel contains some of the greatest masterpieces in english language literature, and the fact that those books have remained so popular, gulliver's travels, robinson crew sew is a great testament to how they havo transcended the moment in which they were written to go on bein books of value in the present i day. i don't know whether i wasgu directly influenced by gulliver's travels, but it's one of the books that i dearly loved, so i wouldn't beand surprised. and the other question was about pride and prejudice. well, yes, glad you mentioned my important career move to have a small role in bridget jones' diary. now we're talking about serious things.ean, and i was in that movie simply because helen fielding who wrote the original book is an old friend of mine and called me up, and i think her exact words were, how would you like to makf a fool of yourself? so i agreed and proceeded to doo so. i'm a big fan of pride and prejudice. i think jane austen is and wonderful writer. i do feel it gets adapted to the movies too often. there seems to be a

with theo dealing likelihood of a dampened turnout by democrats. and so we had to calculate how to engage in making sure not that we advanced persuasion, but also how we made sure we turned out voters. this was our next most important ie. we put together some microtargeting efforts who helped us -- we were to find 1 million voters in the exurban voters of the state. there was a population growing of voters in the more conservative areas. we engaged in this process to find people who agreed with us on our issues but were not union members. in the more conservative areas of the state. we wanted to think of ways that we would reach out on a personal basis. as i said, the micro targeting we engaged in, it became 2 million and it is growing. it is a significant population portion. i see this as the good versus evil. if you were to ask someone to bring mail pieces that meg whitman sent, you would find some competing. contradicting herself. that is the evil portion of micro-targeting. our purpose was to engage people of shared values, to give them a voice
